Greetings all!

Previous spider-phobe, now taranula lover, and recent acquirer of 3 eight-legged babies (much to the distress of my long suffering but supportive partner).
I think pokies are the most beautiful, especially the ornata and regalis, but I want to have a little experience before I take the plunge, so they are on my eventual wish list.
I decided on a g.pulchra as my first and between ordering and delivering, my local shop had a c.versicolor up for sale. I thought only right to get one terrestrial and one arboreal. Especially as I'll need practice in arboreals ;)
When the pulchra arrived, the seller had also thrown in a teeny tiny free N.chromatus.

Introducing:

Shelob, the Grammostolsa pulchra.

Martin, the Caribena versicolor.

Queen Gohma, the Nhandu chromatus.

Welcome!

Why Queen Gohma and not Zelda?
My brother is the huge Zelda fan, and pursuaded me to play Ocarina of Time.
Queen Gohma was the first boss I beat (took me a while, I'm not very good), and she happened to be a mechanical arachnid.
I wouldn't call myself a Zelda fan, although I enjoyed the game (I'm currently playing through Breath of the Wild), but I got a big sense of achivement in winning my first big battle.
It was also nice sharing an interest in something with my bro.

Tha makes sense

I'm not a big video gamer, and hence I've never beat a Queen, but I have flogged the bishop once or twice
